What if Kawhi Leonard Leaves Spurs?

What are the possible trade that could land Kawhi Leonard from another team? There are two top teams that are candidates of landing Leonard? Reports say’s It’s either the Los Angeles Lakers or the Los Angeles Clippers? If the Lakers successfully made a deal that could land Kawhi Leonard this could be a huge trade that could bring back the glory days of the Lakers? Aside from Kawhi, Paul Georges has been also in rumors of joining the Lakers and then the most precious free agent this post season “LeBron James”.

LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George into the Lakers? Forming a super team that could withstand to the Warriors own version of super team? This could be a great post season, the Lakers are now making a big moves let’s just wait and see till all of this thing happen?

If LeBron James joins the Rockets will this make them the better team over the Warriors?

At #2, the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron in staying in Cleveland will be great for his own city and perhaps ending his career as a Cavaliers would be a much better career ending than chasing another ring for another city? Just surround him with teammates that could compete an NBA Title and hopefully wins a title as a Cavs?
